From: Cor Ligthert[MVP] on 14 Dec 2009 12:41 I did not see you used cross posting, will you be so kind in your replies remove the newsgroup VB general discussion. It makes no sense to create again a flame thread as we now can expect from some persons. While for the common visitors of that newsgroup the answers are not very interesting.

From: fniles on 14 Dec 2009 13:06 I need to find out up to the milliseconds how long it takes for a process to do. At the beginning of the process, I write to a log file, and when it's done, I write to the log file again.

From: fniles on 14 Dec 2009 13:29 Sorry, 38624 is the result from Right(VBDT.Timer.ToString("#0.00"), 2) and not from the dd-MMMM-yyyy "Jeff Johnson" <i.get(a)enough.spam> wrote in message news:O0qtRNOfKHA.2596(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > "fniles" <fniles(a)pfmail.com> wrote in message > news:%23uAhw0NfKHA.3916(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > >> MyTime = Format(Now, "dd-MMM-yyyy HH:nn:ss") & "." & >> Right(VBDT.Timer.ToString("#0.00"), 2) >> >> An example of the result of MyTime: >> 38624.73 > > That's some SERIOUSLY broken code if the format string "dd-MMM-yyyy > HH:nn:ss" returns "38624." > > Seriously. >

>> I did not see you used cross posting, will you be so kind in your replies >> remove the newsgroup VB general discussion. > Did you mean I shouldn't cross posting between vb.net and vb6 groups ? > Exactly. They're 2 different things and have two different groups. You referred to both VB6 code and VB.Net code, but you're using one or the other. (You can't mix and match them.) So you should be posting in that group and limiting your question to the code you're actually using. |
